Romelu Lukaku has been accused of showing a lack of gratitude to Antonio Conte as relations sour at Napoli.<\/strong><\/p>\n Journalist Massimo Brambati, via Tutto Napoli, is not impressed with the Belgian striker\u2019s behaviour over the last few weeks. He believes Lukaku should be grateful to Conte for getting him a \u201csignificant contract\u201d at Chelsea.<\/p>\n Romelu Lukaku appears destined to leave Napoli at some point this summer after a major falling out with the club\u2019s hierarchy.<\/p>\n He was the star as they won the Serie A title last season but injury problems this season have limited his presence on the pitch.<\/p>\n The striker then caused a major fallout last month when he decided to stay in Belgium to follow a personal rehabilitation plan. That was against Napoli\u2019s wishes. The Italian champions had ordered the Belgian to return to them for treatment.<\/p>\n Lukaku has now been excluded from the Napoli squad until the end of the season. He is set to be sold in the summer transfer window if Napoli can find a buyer. Brambati is not impressed, stating that Lukaku has shown a lack of gratitude to Antonio Conte.<\/p>\n \u201cIs his relationship with Conte ruined? There\u2019s no gratitude in football,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cLukaku owes a lot to Conte. He wanted him at Napoli after a season with ups and downs at Roma, but above all, he relaunched him at Inter, allowing him to then secure a significant contract at Chelsea.<\/p>\n \u201cAt Inter, they told me that Lukaku wasn\u2019t always impeccable in managing his diet, so Conte was crucial to his development.\u201d<\/p>\n What happens to Romelu Lukaku this summer will certainly be interesting. At 32-years-old, his career is far from over at this point.<\/p>\n But the Belgian has a ropey injury history, to say the least. And falling out with clubs now appears to be something of a speciality for him.<\/p>\n This issue at Napoli is just the latest, with problems arising at most of his previous clubs, including Chelsea. Will any clubs, realistically, want to take a risk on him? The answer would, presumably, be no.<\/p>\n And with his relationship with Antonio Conte now seemingly burned as well, he can\u2019t even rely on the Italian to bail him out either. His agent has even ruled out a return to Everton. The future, it seems, will be a rocky one for the striker.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Romelu Lukaku has been accused of showing a lack of gratitude to Antonio Conte as…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3475,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3474","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3474"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3474\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3474"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Napoli exit looks likely<\/strong><\/h2>\n
